One NorthEast

One NorthEast is the Regional Development Agency (RDA) covering North East England - Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, Tees Valley. Our vision is a vibrant, self reliant, ambitious and outward looking region promoting the benefits of living, working and doing business here.

The Energy & Environment pillar is one of three key components of the strategy for success. The pillar's core activity centres on the advancement of energy capabilities in the region, which includes; strengthening of energy research and technology, building on existing energy centres in the region and the development of energy connectors to assist growth of translational research into commercial opportunity.

As part of the wider innovative strategy, the energy & environment pillar aims to incorporate a set of key principles which feed down into the work conducted within this framework - this includes boosting private sector research & development, providing grounding for skills development and investment into strategic priorities.

Innovative initiatives, established to carry out this agenda are primarily delivered via the New and Renewable Energy Centre (NaREC) , Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) , The Welding Institute (TWI) , Cenamps , Renew Tees Valley (RTV) and supported by the One NorthEast Business and Industry Teams.
